Why is employee self-evaluation important?

Employee-self evaluations can be done as a part of the performance review process or on an occasional basis. In both cases, there are a number of clear benefits in having the employees evaluate themselves:

The self-evaluation stimulates the employee to think about their own performance and career evolution.

The outcome of the self assessment will prepare both the employee and the manager for the evaluation meeting.

Areas of improvement can be discussed in a more effective way when they are detected by the employee.

Self-evaluations demonstrate a collaborative company culture because the voice of the employee is taken into account.

Employee self-evaluation questions

As seen in the sample self evaluation above, you should consider including questions about:

Accomplishments

Working in a team with colleagues

Adherence to processes, e.g. “I turn in documents on time”

Quantitative self-evaluation on a number of job-specific skills, e.g. “I am constantly trying to innovate as much as I can”

Quantitative self-evaluation on a number of core-skills, e.g. “My attitude is the best”

Strengths

Areas for self-improvement

Suggestions for improvements in the company/workplace

Suggestions about training needs

Career expectations

For the quantitative evaluation questions, you can use a numeric or star rating question type. Always include the possibility to enter additional free text (non-mandatory), allowing the employee to clarify the score that was given.

It is important that the evaluation can be done efficiently and that the results are automatically transferred to a central system for effective follow-up. Online self-evaluations are ideally suited for this.

While self-evaluation through paper forms, PDF or Word documents is possible, these methods have significant disadvantages. Following the assessment, the data will need to be transferred to a central system which can result in errors and delays.
